Plans for a day of discussion
and protest of the Vietnam War
which would involve the cancellation of classes on Oct. 15
were outlined last night at a

meeting of the UK chapter of
the Students for a Democratic
Society (SDS).
Dick Pozzuto, SDS steering

committee chairman, described
the planned program as "the
biggest thing" in the near future for the SDS.
Similar programs concerning
the Vietnam war will be conducted at "other universities," a
participant said. The other universities were not named.
Speakers Planned
Another steering committee
member, Frank Shannon, said
that the program would include
"several speakers" who would
discuss various aspects of the
Vietnam war. Shannon said that
the SDS is trying to get an
speaker, but he did
not name any prospects.
The cancellation of classes,
Shannon noted, would be with
the cooperation of the faculty
and administration. "As soon as
we get a schedule of events, we
will start going to heads of departments," he stated.
Another participant said that
contact has been made with "a
small amount of teachers" and
that there is "a great deal of
sympathy there."
"Guerilla Theater" Planned
Also included in the day of
discussion would be a "guerilla
theater" which would consist of
various persons traveling through
the campus "portraying various
acts of violence," including
"some of the terrible &ctr (going
on) in Vietnam."
The day's program would end
with a film; under consideration
are "War Games" and several
related movies.
Billy Horton, another member
out-of-to-

of the steering committee, spoke
at length about the Board of
Trustees, the new student code

and the functions of the

Horton stated that those who
criticize the SDS for attacking
the Trustees are taking a "naive
position." That the Board of
Trustees employs a sort of
racism" in gov"broadly-defineerning UK was stressed by Horton.
He claimed that the Trustees

have to fit into while they're

The meetings are intended

Life in Haggin Hall, a men's dormitory, has never been better
since the University Housing Office converted Donovan Hall into a
women's dormitory over the summer. These students were part
of the crowd of dorm residents who attended a mixer sponsored

object to the new situation perhaps the Homing Office should take

All You Need Is A Sewing Machine
Need a new wardrobe but
can't afford to go on a shopping
spree?
All you need to solve that
problem is a little imagination,
a lot of patience ami a sewing

machine.

Almost any dress you can buy
in a store you can find a pattern
for, along with the added advantage of being able to select
the exact color and fabric you

want.

With one basic shift pattern
a whole wardrobe can be made.
For summer, two yards of a
bright cotton print' fabric becomes
a cool, swinging play dress. In
the winter, bold checked wool
cut from tlie same pattern turns
Into a jumper perfect for classes.

For more dressy occassions, a
lightweight knit, linen or synthetic blend and a few pieces of
simple jewelry nuke a sophisticated outfit that can be dressed
up or down.
Once you get tlte hang of it,
let your imagination run wild.
Take the same basic pattern and
add collars, sleeves, ruffles, buttons, pockets, ribbon trim. Add
a personal touch by monogram-m- i
ng the front.
Bermudas, slacks and bathing
suits are other easy to make
clothes that require little time and
are inexpensive. Most two piece
suits can be made with left over
scraps of material the same style
suit you would pay $20 if you
bought at a store.
The only thing that isn't easier
and more economical to make
than to buy is a blouse. A long
sleeve blouse takes two or three

yards of material and requires
a lot of tedious work, including
cuffs and button holes.
The advantages of sewing your
own clothes include:
EconomyA cotton shirtwaist
dress costs from $15 on up. The
same dress, made with the same
type of material, often with the
same design, costs about $6.
Fit. It is much easier to alter
the pattern for an exact fit than
e
to alter a
dress.
Variety. Sometimes you want
a dress of a certain color or style
and you just can't find it in the
store. With the wide selection
of colors and fabrics now available, its much easier to find just
what you wanted in the fabric
department than on the clothes

He said most community colleges offer courses similar to the
first two years of the traditional
university. "They are for the
youngsters who want to stay at
home, in order to make the transition to higher learning a bit
easier. Some of the students are
unsure of themselves, or they
may need a refresher course to
help them brush up on the algebra they have forgotten. Or maybe the student needs the help

C. C.

Shoivs Worth
A recent study notes the economic impact that Hazard Community College, with its 130 mem- -'
ber student body (62 men, 68
women) and its 20 faculty and
staff members, is having on the

Hazard area.
Its full economic impact has
not yet been realized, says the researcher, William R. Miller, resource development specialist in
community services at Quick-

sand.
Miller two weeks ago com,
pleted a study of the college and
student body expenditures which
points out the value of Hazard
Community College, not only as
a cultural asset, but "as a great
economic asset as well."
Miller compiled the facts with
the cooperation of the faculty,,
staff, and a sample of 21 students
who recorded their purchases over
a
period last April.
As a result of the presence
of Hazard Community College,
an additional $17,500 is placed
in circulation in Hazard each

month.
The total of student expenditures is $3,916.64 per month for
such items as meals clothing,
medical care, recreation, educational supplies, transportation,
postage, telephone and personal

items.

In addition,

32

students

re-

$2,486 in cash each
month by participating in the
work-stud- y
program. This does
not include fees paid by the
students to cover tuition.
To this sum is added the
ceive

monthly salaries to faculty and
staff of $13,100, and maintenance
and miscellaneous operations for
one month of $471, bringing the
total to approximately $17,500 being funnel ed into the local economy each month.
When figured annually, the
figure is approximately $200,000,
which does not take into consideration $40,000 received in tuition and fees from the students.

* Criteria For Competence
Of the many major decisions
President Singletary will have to
make when he gets his feet on the
ground there is one which vitally
concerns UK students. The post of
Vice President for Student Affairs
should be filled soon, and Dr.
Singletary should be made aware
of the views of the students on
this very important appointment.
There are many pressing reasons
why this position should be filled
as soon as possible. First of all,
the Student Affairs office is held
nearly in limbo until it gets a
permanent head. Any decision Dr.
Forth now makes must be a temporary one, subject to change at
the discretion of his successor. This
is not a very forceful method of
operation for an office of the magnitude of Student Affairs.
The Student Affairs office is in
bad need of a complete redefinition. The fluid and overlapping divisions of the office make it almost
incomprehensible to one trying to
benefit from the services it offers.
Before any effective changes can
be made, a permanent vice president must be chosen.
As President Singletary makes
his decision there will be a number of factors for him to consider.
Obviously it is of utmost importance to choose a man who is
acceptable to the student body.
Further, it is essential that the
appointee be well versed in student conduct. Administrative skill
is necessary, but it must take back
seat to practical understanding of
student needs and attitudes. Ideally the new vice president will be
one who is atuned to recent upheavals of other campuses and has
spent some time in analyzing the
causes of these disruptions and
how they can be effectively prevented here. A program for keeping
students in hand will not be sufficient, the next Vice President for
Student Affairs must be able to
communicate with students well
enough to alleviate the causes of

their dissatisfaction, not just the

proportionate in its staunch student
outlook. A less authoritarian Student Affairs head could do wonders
to restore student confidence in

These are stiff criteria, but somewhere the man can be found. We
can only hope Dr. Singletary will
exert the effort to make this appointment his first major contribution to the University.

moderates on campus and legal
action to stop disruptive radical
moves.
A romantic attraction for the
tactics of disruptive radicalism by
no means has been dispelled. On
campus after campus, the radicals
can point to the failure of low-ke- y
demonstrations or petitions to
win concessions from administrations, and the fast results they got
by shutting down the university or
seizing a hall or issuing an ulti-

matum.

The political affiliation of the

Right, Left Or Beyond

At El Paso, Texas, the students
veered toward the radical left. In
St. Louis, they encamped on the
right. But the real battle for domination of the student scene this
fall will not be between the radicals
and conservatives. It will be in the
minds of the basically liberal majority of students, and will take the
form of deciding whether or not to
acquiesce in radical tactics.
Such acquiescence occurred at
the National Students Association
convention in El Paso. The liberal
majority of campus leaders gave in
to black separatist demands both
for control of the meeting and
for $50,000 to finance the breakaway National Association of Black
Students. They seemed mesmerized
by the radical ploy and, even though
it wrecked the NSA's hopes of representing a consensus on campus

symptons.
It is very important that the
appointee be a man the students
can trust, even if his decision is
contrary to their attitudes. There
should be a rapport between the
administrator and the students he
administers that has not been found
at UK in recent years.
These criteria eliminate all of
the ranking officials in the Student Affairs office, and with good
reason. This leaves the President
Whether
with a grave
to bring in an administrator or to
recruit one from the present University community. We feel the
latter alternative is the more desirable.
The new vice president will
have to make many rapid decisions when he is chosen decisions which can best be made
if he had been aware of the influences leading up to their resolution. For a man to come into
the UK environment overnight and
be expected to appreciate the vast
complexities that have been build-her- e
for years is an unrealistic
expectation. This point is especially
pertinent in view of the number of
high positions being occupied by
men new to this campus. As one
administrator said, "There should
at least be someone around who
knows where the johns are."

Kernel Forum: the readers write
Dear Drew
To the Editor of the Kernel:
The harsh criticism of Drew Pearson
in "Exit Pearson" from the September
2 issue of the Kernel is a poor, but

typical definition of what "happiness
is" in respect to good journalism.
Happiness for a good column seems
to be concern for truth and objectivity.
The objectivity of the editorial is questionable. In politics and government truths
are scarce and can seldom be dealt with.
Who has been able to answer alltheques-tion- s
concerning the death of John Kennedy, the spending of the industrial military complex, the war in Vietnam, or
the death of Miss Kopechne? How can one
speak of truths when he is surrounded
by doubts and shady facts?
Happiness seems to be pure journalism,
without the nasty yellow kind. But it
seems that Pearson's journalism, like the
that is someKernel's, is a bit
times right and sometimes wrong. As
stated in the Sept. 2,
"Pearson's persistant muckrakings sent
four members of Congress to jail, defeated
countless others and caused the dismissal of scores of government officials."
Who is to say what happiness is?
Pearson probably was the mean, ugly,
dirty, and nasty man the Kernel pictures
him. He was a muckraker. He was surrounded by and was writing about a mean,
ugly, dirty, and nasty society. He wanted,
"to make the government a little cleaner,
a little more efficient . . . in foreign affairs,
to try to work for peace." He believed
journalism was essential to democracy.
He was happy.

I base this assessment on an outstanding piece of morbidity which
seconded as an editorial in our newspaper on September 2, under the title:
"Exit Pearson." The condemnation of
the late Drew Pearson within twenty-fou- r
hours of his death and the attack
on his partner Jack Anderson were slanderous. Ironically, the author of this editorial employed the very techniques to
attack individuals as he fallaciously condemned Pearson
and Anderson for
utilizing. E.g., the lack of concern for truth
and the use of sensationalism.
Quite contrary to this editorial, Pearson has often been acclaimed as one of
the most influencial political critics in the
last three decades by Washington circles.
The Dodd scandal in 1967 is Pearson's
most well known uncovering. Pearson's
column has also been responsible for the
dismissal of innumerable corrupt governmental officials.
In the future it would be comforting
to one to be able to rely on the editors of our newspaper as those who would
not substitute their personal prejudices for
factual reporting.

Referring to your editorial "Exit Pearson," of September 2:
There are two kinds of journalists in
this world those who look under rocks
and those who tell you how pretty the
rocks are. Drew Pearson strived for membership in this former group, the truth
seekers. The tone and content of your

New Image
Students in Haggin Hall want
to improve the hall's image.
So Haggin has a public relations man.
Skip Zender, a corridor advisor at Haggin, is the man dorm
residents hope will change Hag-gin- 's
public image. According
to Zender, any news about the
dorm will be in the "opposite

direction this year."
Zender was referring to publicity concerning a panty raid
last semester at the Complex
which was reportedly staged by
the men of Haggin Hall. During
the incident, Dempster Dump-ster- S
at Haggin were set afire.
Publicity Unfavorable
Ellis Bullock, head resident
at the dorm, says that Haggin
will be "using Skip as the best
person to advise them."
According to Bullock, the only
publicity Haggin received last
semester was unfavorable. He
cited forums which were held
by Haggin residents, but which
were ignored. Forum topics of
"drugs and sex" were given as
examples.

Forums similar in nature have
been planned for this year.
Bullock says the usual comment about Haggin now is,
"yeah, I know about Haggin!"
It's Zender's job to change that
comment
to something more
praiseworthy.
